Join Cartwheel to help tackle the student mental health crisis.

Kids spend most of their days in the classroom. And teachers and staff, who play a vital role in their development, are often the first to notice when something is off. But with 1 in 5 young people struggling with mental health, schools are getting crushed by a downward spiral in student crises and staff burnout.

With large increases in federal funding for schools and the rise of telehealth, schools are reimagining what mental health support can look like.

Role

Cartwheel is an early-stage startup building technology-enabled mental health services that put schools at the center. We see our role as supporting on-campus counselors, psychologists, and school social workers who see kids every day. Instead of going around them, we collaborate with them. This means:

• Earlier intervention
• Higher student and family engagement in care
• Better coordination among the trusted adults in a student’s life
  
  

Kids shouldn't just aspire to get out of bed and drag themselves to class. They should be able to experience joy. They deserve to envision and build a life they’re excited to live. If you join Cartwheel, you’ll help make this vision a reality for millions of students across the country. We’re backed by top investors including Menlo Ventures, Reach Capital, General Catalyst, BoxGroup, and Able Partners, and we're looking for mission-driven teammates to join our team.

About The Role

We’re looking for team-oriented and mission-driven therapists who believe in the power of collaborative care to join our amazing and interdisciplinary care team of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, therapists, and school health professionals. As a Mental Health Therapist, you'll work directly with school staff, students, and families in our partner school districts to build stronger systems of mental health support.

Role type: 1099 Independent Contractor (10-20 clinical hours per week)

Location: 100% remote

Start date: Rolling start dates throughout early 2025

What You’ll Do

• Provide excellent care, including mental health assessments and skills-based teletherapy, to elementary, middle and high school students in Cartwheel’s partner school districts (typically 2-4 months per student with possible extension up to 6 months)
• Collaborate closely with referring school counselors and other relevant providers at start of treatment and over the course of a student’s care journey (including through regular phone calls, emails, and virtual meetings)
• Build trusted relationships with school staff and families to support a student’s mental health needs, school engagement and engagement with school-based services, as applicable
• Provide regular psychoeducation and support to parents and caregivers to enhance a student’s mental health needs and individual therapy work
• Collaborate with Cartwheel MDs/NPs on treatment planning, care delivery and transition planning over a student’s care journey
• Partner with the External Referrals team to support the identification of referrals to community mental health and primary care providers
• Have the opportunity to participate in case consultations and discussions with other Cartwheel team members
• Help to further build Cartwheel’s clinical programming and wonderful Care Team

• Experience with CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused therapy, and/or motivational interviewing
• Experience delivering care via telehealth
• Strong technological skills and learning new systems, including Zoom, GSuite (Google Calendar, Gmail, etc.), electronic health record systems, and other collaboration tools

• Excellent organization, communication, and collaboration skills
• Ability to offer hours both during and especially after a typical school day (e.g., 3-8 pm Eastern Time)
• NOTE: As long as you have an active license in the above state, you can live and deliver care from anywhere in the United States
